I think i got double the buy-in plus about 30 bucks. enough to drive home and still make a small profit. takes me 4 tanks of $50 each to go there and back.
Been broke all summer and havent played any of the big events around here, the beau rivage fall classic and the wsop- bossier city. actually i dont like the beau, people are ass holes over there and with my bad attitude i end up clashing with somebody at every table. Bossier City is like 6 tanks of gas and another 1.5hr drive, i really should have played that one looking back. I was running/playing very good at the time and now ive turned downward bigtime the last 2 weeks. Poker bankroll is down about 45% over the last 3 weeks as ive not been able to buy a break in ANY game..
Sights set now on the wsop event at the end of October at the IP in biloxi, should be another in Dec in N.O and then a January event at the Beau....usually.
I really think i can break through for a good cash in these wsop events, the stuctures are just made for my game. Ive also got to give credit to a former wsop c-event champ whos from here also and whos name escapes me at the moment but watching him ( hes been at my tables for like the last 6 events ive played) has shown me that attacking the really big fish at the table in the 1st few levels when most good players are playing premiums only can get you a lot of chips early. These fish are going to bust out early no reason it shouldnt be by me!
Thats the biggest change between online and live.
Did very good last sunday night and agin on monday evening playing 1/2 at the boat and im pretty sure ill be back tonight. huge 4-8-12 limit omaha game goes then to but they have a way of keeping me out that game and i rarely get to play in it unless there is no list and they cant say no.And thats rare, its by far the most popular game the 3 or 4 nights a week its run and the pots get huge! So do the swings so its a lil risky to my roll if i get off to a bad start but let me double up in say the 1st hour and the game will break up within 30 mins....lol 1 night its just me and a drunk whale playing heads up for 2 hours+.....sent him to the ATM 3 times and won over $900 from him in that time... On another topic that whale changed his entire game after that night. he quit drinking, he quit capping every pot with any 2 cards and plays like a player who went home and read a few books. he really is a nice guy but when hes drunk he just spews chips like crazy.. half the hands we played that night were capped ever street and at the end he would give his cards to the dealer and say "what do i have"....lol
Last weekend it was me and like 4 nit regulars with 5 tourists who couldnt fold a pair no matter the board, stayed 4.5 hrs and left with 4.5 buy-ins. i big hand, i get a 3 way all-in. they dont turn the cards over here untill all 5 are dealt....so when the borard came QQ10 i was getting nervous but it hadnt hit me yet. x on the turn and an A on the river and unless someone had qq i took the whole pot....i had AA, 2nd plyr had KK and the 3rd guy, who will hate me forever had....AQ. I hit a 1 outer to beat him on the river. He was really pissed and started 3 betting me everytime i got in a pot after that, he was wanting to prove something to me and just wouldnt let him, id either 4 bet shove or fold. i think he wanted to try to outplay me after the flop, i dont know if he could or not so i never gave him a chance..
Like i say i was REALLY deepstacked then and i wasnt gonna get crazy wondering what to do with say 2nd pair on a dry board.....f that. win it preflop or see all 5 against unknown crazies seems to work best for me...
Gotta be carefull though, very limited bankroll and take a big hit and i miss the IP event....again!!!
Cash games have been going well. last 4 live trips were all winners. including my 1st winning session ever playing 1/2 NL live. 1/2 plays a whole lot different than 2/5 or 5/10 because in comparison to the blinds everyone is so much more deep stacked. most ppl here buy in for 3-500 and thats a lot of BB's at 1/2. $500 at 2/5 is barely enough to get going with. The 1st time i played 1/2 was in las vegas last new years and i got busted quick because i didnt take the deep stack play into consideration and gave cahsers the correct implied odds to try to run me down....which they did over and over again. I find a negranue small ball approach trying to set hellmuth traps get the money much faster against deep stacked opponents.
